APRIL 16, 2013: Today is a sad day indeed. It is with a heavy heart
that we can confirm that actor Richard LeParmentier (best known as Admiral
Motti in STAR WARS) has passed away. Derek Maki, president of Coolwaters
Productions LLC, has spoken to Richard's son, Tyrone, this morning, who stated
that it was sudden. The family needs some time to deal with the shock and an
official statement will be made to the associated press later today. Coolwaters
asks everyone to respect the family in this time of grief and to please not
contact them. The Coolwaters family has lost a member of its own family and we
wish Tyrone the very best.
I was patiently waiting for the upcoming posted appearance of Richard LeParmentier, as I'd missed him so many times in the past, because I wished for his signature so much. The desire for an autograph now seems all too small with the sudden news of Mr. LeParmentier's passing, but it's the very reason why we desire such things - so we had something of our own to remember him by. I was going to send a rare "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" Oscar Consideration folder for Richard to sign, because of how wonderful of an antagonistic character he played to Bob Hoskin's. He looks & sounds like a dear man, but he could really play the BEST character's wishing to get under your skin, like the Roger Rabbit character & Admiral Motti from "Star Wars" - simply the best! He will always be in two of my favourite films. I also recall that when it was asked of the Star Wars Fans of what character they would most like to see made into an action figure, they chose overwhelmingly Richard's unforgettable (& undisputable) Motti Character. Probably desiring the only character to be able to get Vader's 'goat' and get away with it. It saddened me to hear of his passing, he was truly a favourite of mine - I wish I could've had the chance to meet him. My deepest of condolences to his family, and to Derek Maki & the Coolwaters Crew.
